We're literally better than them.

Thank goodness. Im an artist and I was worrying if there was something wrong with me for seeing blue and black.

 

[Niraj]

i looked at it on three different screens (lcd monitor, plasma tv, and an iphone)

looks blue and black on all 3

some parts of the black look gold though, but the blue is really obviously blue

Same here, looked on my phone and computer. The gold looking part I just took for light shining on it.

 

[Floridian]

I asked my mommy and she also said black & blue. The room i'm currently in is bright atm, but I see no difference when turning the lights on or off.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

This is definitely bullshit. Do we know this is the guy who original posted the illusion? Even if it was, he clearly has no idea how to design an experiment. He did nothing to determine whether or not the color changed was caused by mood. This definitely reads like something that somebody just made up after the illusion became popular. That's not how experiments work.

Not to mention it looks pretty unprofessional to put out this explanation with pink letters on a green background

 

[Edwardo]

Me and my family just got in a huge battle at the dinner table about this. Some saw it white and gold every time. Some saw it only blue and black. Some said it changed when they looked away.

I haven't seen it anything other than white and gold.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

I saw blue and gold. But after seeing the actual dress I can't not see blue and black.

 

[Holmes]

I want to go back to white and gold.

 

[Fury451]

I see a light blueish and gold, but it looks like tinted white and darkened gold because of lighting

 

[Nanashrew]

Okay what is even going on anymore!

 

[gutter_trash]

I see white and gold.

Same here

 

[FrsDvl]

wtf weird. i asked my daughter what she saw Blue and Black. But it's clearly white and gold!

 

[StoopKid]

That's pretty crazy. When I came in I definitely saw gold/white, watched some TV, came back and nows its very much blue/black.

It was blue and black on my iPhone.

Then I looked on my iPad and now it's white and gold on both my iPhone and iPad.

So freaky!

 

[Froli]

Here. Fixed the exposure.

This one is blue and black

Seriously though, black&blue. You white&gold peasants need to get your eyes checked.

Seeing blue and black means your eyes work great, right?

 

[SmackAttack]

I was seeing white and gold, very obviously, on the top, original picture.

Thanks to alrights bottom picture I now see the top as blue and black as well.

Fucking eyes, how do they work.

IT CHANGES COLORS AS I SCROLL. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!

 

[kendrid]

On the same monitor my son & I see white/gold, my wife and daughter blue/black.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It's blue and gold.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

I can understand seeing the white as having a blue tint, but it's blowing my mind that people see the gold color as black.

EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SORCERY IT CHANGED COLORS

At dinner with my family. all of my in laws see blue and black. I see white and gold.

 

[Izuna]

I am convinced that if you are seeing black, when photoshop or any program knows it is isn't even close to grey, you must be in the bad eyes section. I refuse to believe I am supposed to (if my eyes were working) to see the colour differently to how it is isolated.

Bluish white and Gold/dark brown for me

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

We're literally better than them.

It's blue and gold.

lock the thread MC!

 

[Ahasverus]

Blue and gold, the fuck?

 

[Ultryx]

Black and blue.

 

[bucknuticus]

White and gold, my friends are split.


I FEEL LIKE MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Seems to me the difference between blue/black or white/gold is about people being able to discern colours from subconscious context. Personally, I see the dress as black and blue, but the actual pixels are very obviously going to be gold in the black area because of the over exposure, but because the whole picture is over exposed, the brain compensates for it and I can tell it would be black if I saw it properly. For reference, I have 20/20 vision and I'm not colour blind.

 

[Hexa]

WTF is even going on here?

#TeamBlackandBlue

 

[FiggyCal]

Both are white and gold for me.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Team White and Gold. Am i going to die GAF?

 

[Floridian]

Wait a minute! I just tried mobile and it shows up White & Gold to me, but on my computer monitor it's black & blue.

 

[kirby_fox]

White/Gold. I then sat back and could see more blue than I saw originally.

Always had a feeling we all saw color differently because of how many times my parents would ask me to get something of a color that didn't look the color they asked for. Specifically my step dad asking for green garbage bags, and my perception of them being black. I guess he saw them as dark green, while I saw it as just black.

 

[23qwerty]

Okay what is even going on anymore!

thats fake

 

[Ishida]

Team White and Gold. Am i going to die GAF?

No, you are on the superior team. You can look down on those blue/black peasants.

Note: Your monitor can dramatically affect the way you're seeing the "black" or "gold" area.


I just switched the window to my other monitor and the black appears more brownish.

 

[Izuna]

I can see blue/black if I squint reaaaaally hard. But then that changes everything haha

 

[ZealousD]

I see a white/gold dress that has a blue tint based on the lighting and exposure of the picture. I see the dress as being white and not blue because there's clearly a strong light source behind the dress and so we're looking at the dress in shadow.

The other color is clearly gold though. I don't understand how anybody could begin to interpret it as black.

 

[Despera]

Oh man... so many white and gold answers.

I feel so bad for you guys

 

[hiex_]

I feel like this is an enormous communication error.

btw it's blue and dark gold, bordering on brown. Anyone who disagrees with my opinion is factually wrong.

 

[Nanashrew]

thats fake

Ah okay.

 

[Necromanti]

This one is blue and black

I'd say that one's more blue and...gray.

 

[Dosia]

I first saw white and gold. I then saved it to iphone and sent to wife and now I see blue and black. Help me.

 

[LyleLanley]

I originally saw white and gold but after seeing that gif I now can only see it as blue and black.

 

[FrsDvl]

Why would my 3 year old see black and blue though. What negativity does she have in her life.

 

[zebaz08]

Here. Fixed the exposure.

I see the picture in OP as white and gold and this one black and blue, however if I try to close my eyes a bit this one turns white and gold

 

[Anura]

Blue and black! Woo, high functioning eyes! I still can't see a thing without glasses

 

[Floridian]

Okay this is weird. the dress on my phone screen now is black & blue, the same color on my monitor.

 

[Ishida]

Why would my 3 year old see black and blue though. What negativity does she have in her life.

She's not your kid.

 

[Anustart]

I see a light chestnut auburn with a hint of burnt amber.

Or white and gold.

 

[Hexa]

I originally saw white and gold but after seeing that gif I now can only see it as blue and black.

Can someone make a white and gold gif? I can't see it at all but want to.

 

[Nanashrew]

Found the dress. It only comes in 4 colors and white and gold are not among them.

It comes in white and black, red and black, pink and black, and blue and black.

I switched to my second monitor. The original pic is very clearly white and gold, but the "fixed" one is blue and gold.
